Try singing in 5/4 or 7/8 ... or maybe something easy, like 9/8! I've had trouble getting the people I was performing with to clap/snap on the off-beats! Not folkies, I should say; but you expect something a bit less boring when you're singing Fever!

Dear old Alex Campbell used to say (on the rare ocasions it was necessary for him), "this is a folksong, and if you folk don't sing, it ain't gonna work!" Hell, yes!

P.S. Actually, I hate it when people start clapping along, whether they do it right or not!
